"Waging Nonviolent Struggle as Jesus Would (& Did)"

Learn how to wield the Savior’s command to “love your enemies” as a powerful force for change. In this workshop, we’ll explore how this radical teaching can become a practical, even revolutionary, tool for confronting injustice, resisting tyranny, and transforming destructive social dynamics without mirroring their harm. Drawing on scripture, history, and real-world examples, we’ll discover how Christlike love—far from being passive—can fuel creativity, courage, and moral clarity in the face of conflict. You will leave with a deeper understanding of how to channel compassion into concrete action that protects the vulnerable, challenges wrongdoing, and opens the door to lasting peace.

"From Conflict to Connection: Creating Peace in Marriage"

We tend to polarize into self-protective positions when we confront painful conflicts with those we love. These ego-driven stances are intuitive but they keep us from creating true solutions and genuine peace in our marriages. This workshop will help you see what your pattern of engagement is, how it keeps you from the peace you desire and what you can do instead. We will practice the self-awareness and self-regulation that are necessary for collaboration in the face of conflict with our spouses.

Designed for anyone who has been cut out of a relationship—or has made the difficult choice to step away—it invites honest reflection, skill-building, and hope for all possibilities.

President Nelson has called us to be peacemakers—but in real life, that’s often messy and hard. This workshop explores how our bodies, with their God-given needs for safety, love, and agency, can both spark conflict and open the door to healing. Through scripture, movement, and conversation, we’ll practice staying present in our own vulnerability so we can respond with Christlike love, transform tension into connection, and better carry one another’s burdens.

"Forgiveness: A Pathway to Freedom from Emotional Prison" 

Forgiveness is a critical concept in many faith traditions. When we talk about forgiving the dehumanization or unjust treatment from others, the focus is often on how we should forgive. This workshop will not focus on if we should forgive, but rather how to forgive if that is a choice we have made. We will explore the process of transforming feelings of bitterness, anger, and hurt into feelings of beneficence. Bring your grudges!

"The Roots of Polarization"

This interactive workshop explores the roots of polarization, the importance of engaging our own communities, and the power of storytelling in difficult conversations. You will gain shared vocabulary around toxic polarization, engage with strategies to lower polarization on your own side, and practice conversations on difficult topics with people who disagree. At the One America Movement, we believe toxic polarization is a spiritual crisis—and that faith offers a powerful response. This session will help faith leaders learn how to lower polarization by speaking up in accordance with their faith tradition.

"Acquainted with Grief: Finding our Way Back to Wholeness"

Grief is often thought of as a negative emotion and something to be avoided. How grief is navigated is also highly misunderstood and makes it difficult for many to understand how to deal with it, and how to support others who grieve. In this workshop we will uncover the gifts that grief has to offer and practice moving through it in a way that can help us regain a sense of wholeness after the pain of loss.
